Thing #7

If you are a part of the Region 1 consortia and you  haven't spent time exploring what's available from Discovery Education - do it! I went to Region 1's Day of Discovery Workshop today and came back with many new ideas to pass on to our teachers. It's exciting as well as overwhelming the amount of resources we have available. Just browse and see what will work for you. Start by taking advantage of the TEACHER CENTER on the Discovery Education home page. Try the Writing Prompt Builder, Assignment Builder, and the Quiz Builder! There is a lesson plan library, an atlas builder where you can take your class on a virtual field trip to any where in the world, and a calendar that's great for so many more classroom applications. These resources can make your lessons fun and engaging for you and your students. Take advantage of this great resource.
